Building Birds with Kids

This post may contain affiliate links. We saw our first bluebird EVER last week! It was absolutely stunning and was only outside our window a few seconds before it was gone. We have Blue Jays that have built nests around our home. In fact, we had one outside our window for over a minute a month or so ago and really had time to observe and take in its' beauty, but bluebirds are a rare treat. This...

I know I know... it's Christmas Eve. It's the holidays and we know how fast time flies especially this last week of December. January will be here in a blink. Fortunately we received our January Experience Preschool box early (and I opened it and explored it early) , and I thought it might be helpful to show you it before January. So without futher ado- here is our January box which is all about...

Studying Snowflakes

We live in East Texas. Snow reaches us once in a blue moon. I think the last time we had snow my girl was 2 or 3 and we only had enough to make a 4 inch high snowman. We wish we had some snow here, but alas... none. However, just because we don't have a first hand experience here with snow doesn't mean we can not have fun learning about it. Experience Preschool gave us some superb ideas on how...

It's December! Can you believe it!?! Another year has flown by.... I'm pretty stunned. Thinking about how fast time flies makes me so thankful I homeschool our 5 year old Kindergartener and just turned 2 tornado. We've been using Experience Early Learning for 3+ years, and although I have to tweak the lessons a little for both my learners, I love having the thematic study, resources easily...

Playing with Books: Resourcefulness

leslie November 29, 2019 0 Comments
I love learning through books. Charlotte Mason's method to education is totally my jam. That is one thing about this toddler curriculum from Experience Early Learning that I totally love! It's not only theme based, but it's also literature based. Each week has come with a book (that came in our tot box!) and all our toddler activities have revolved around that weekly book. This week we read the...

If you saw my last post, you know that we are getting to know our Community Helpers this month with our newest box of Experience Toddler from Experience Early Learning. My son will turn 2 in less than a month, so this toddler box is right up his ally. Our school week was a little wonky this week as we had a field trip to the local Pumpkin Patch and a Medieval Feast (more on that in a later post)...

What’s in the TODDLER Box?

leslie October 29, 2019 0 Comments
When you think of November, what's the first thought that pops into your head? Mine is Thanksgiving. A day we set aside to celebrate with loved ones and remember all the things we have to be thankful for in our life. One of which is our Community Helpers- the police officers, doctors, firemen, mail carriers, and so much more- that help our lives function well and who I know I take for granted....
